Didn't that clan in DMC2 helped Sparda against Argosax ? If he sealed away his powers, needing help to defeat a Demon of that level makes sense The clan needed Sparda's help. Matier said Sparda did something similar to Dante when Dante went into Hell to fight Argosax.

"DMC4's History of Devil May Cry states that Dante was still trying to live up to Sparda's legacy, implying that he is not as strong as Sparda."

Legacy =/= Power

Sparda had thousands of years to build his own legacy, it is to be expected that even in DMC4, Dante did not have so much history to compare with his father Sparda's legacy came from his rebelliom and defeatimg Argosax. He didnt spend 2k years doing more miraculous stuff, he straight up disappeared for a majority of that time and layed low until he died.

But in power they can be comparable, who knows ? Dante already have Sparda Sword that grants him enough power to defeat Mundus, even in DMC1

So imagine DMC2 Dante + Sparda Sword lol Dante using needing Sparda's power only proves that Dante himself isnt on Sparda's level of power. In fact, even with it he couldnt keep Mundus down and without it, a weakened Mundus was going to kill him.
